Of course it rained at the fair....

We did the Puyallup Spring Fair this weekend...we got soaked but made the best of it I think- with relatively few complaints- until the very end when we were all a little tired. I'll post the link to the web album but I just had to put this "series" of photos up. Poor Lily. But it was just too much fun and hard to resist...

Here we are on the "Bear Ride". I should have taken a picture of the outside- they were very cute and seemed fairly non threatening to the girls. We decided this would be the ride we went on all together- to use up the last of our tickets. I wanted the Ferris Wheel- but Lily was terrified of how high it went. So we get in and they are excited- neither of them realize that this bear is nothing more than a glorified "tea-cup"- Martin is excited because with how strong he is- he knows he can really make it spin- really.

The ride is about to start...I think they were reconsidering...too late!

OMG OMG OMG get me outta here!

I'm the worst. She'll probably have a fear of rides for the rest of her life. Martin spun the sh*t out of that thing- Lily at first seemed ok then as it kept going and going got scared then started screaming- "Make it stop!"

Finally the ride came to a stop and she couldn't get off fast enough...but she did it- and she went on the canoe ride and rode the pony all by herself too. So she did really well--ahh but that face- priceless.

Of course we did other fun stuff that didn't involve torturing them- games and food and animals- but I'm sure that ride is all she'll remember.

About Me

I am a busy, working mom with 2 energetic daughters and a husband who always keeps me on my toes. I work full time as a Member Services Manager at a local Credit Union. My work keeps me busy (during work hours) and I am constantly learning new things. In my spare time (ha!) I blog, hand-make greeting cards, scrapbook, read, cook and volunteer at the elementary school. I love planning craft projects with my girls, discovering new parks around the city and just getting outside! We're taking everyday as it comes and having lots of adventures along the way.
